Worcester man shot in the leg at party

A 30-year-old city man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg early this morning at an after-hours party, according to police.

Police were called to an apartment at 19 Seymour St. about 3 a.m. for a report of shots fired. When police arrived, the victim was apparently leaving the apartment with a gunshot wound, and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Authorities said the victim left the hospital before being fully treated.

Detectives learned there was an after-hours party inside the apartment, and that during the party, four shots were fired from a gun. Other ammunition was found inside the apartment, according to police.

Police investigating the shooting found one person, Kandie O'Neil, 30, of 19 Seymour St., Apt. 2, allegedly hiding in the backyard. Police said she had a .380-caliber handgun on the ground near her.

She was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm without a license. It does not appear the gun found outside was used in the shooting. Detectives continue to investigate.
